A 5-year-old child was electrocuted in a playground in Chalkida when he touched a light pole.
The boy is being treated out of danger at the Chalkida hospital.
"I go near him, his hands were numb, he was shaking, he couldn't open his fingers and then he showed me the pillar, he says he touched it... He couldn't get it off, his teeth were shaking," the boy's mother initially told the Star.
I saw my 5-year-old boy lying on the ground shaking
She saw her 5-year-old boy lying on the ground shaking a few seconds after, as she complains, electricity struck him yesterday evening at the playground in Chalkida.
His mother, who was sitting on a bench in the park with other mothers, ran in terror to where her child was lying.
"At that moment I was trying to calm him down. I pick him up, dunk him and my other son and bring him to the hospital. Fortunately, he's better now," his mother also says.
Municipal officials were alerted by the police, went to the scene and closed it off. The mayor denounces continuous vandalism of the playground. At the same time the incident is being investigated.
